"Chambers inside separate the oxygen and release the liquid so that you can breath comfortably in the ocean."
if it's breaking down the 2H's and the O, what's the liquid released? liquid hydrogen? (H turns to liquid @ 423.17 F/252.87C.) I don't think so. at those temperatures, you're no longer talking about liquid water.
O2 is dissolved in the water.. which is why there are huge fishkills when algae/bacteria use up all the breathable O2 in the water.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fish_kill The most common cause is reduced oxygen in the water, which in turn may be due to factors such as drought, algae bloom, overpopulation, or a sustained increase in water temperature.
sounds like this thing has holes that separate the larger H20 molecules from the smaller o2, a compressor stores the oxygen probably because there's less usable o2 in a lungful of water vs air. ( Using a very small but powerful micro compressor, it compresses oxygen and stores the extracted oxygen in storage tank.)
it's not too good to be true, it's a nano-filtration. fish been doing it for a while.

this isn't about splitting a single dinner bill as the headline (Google Wants Patent On Splitting Restaurant Bills) suggests.
it's a little more complicated.. where, say, 5 people hang out together for a week, where multiple bills are paid individually by different people over the duration of the vacation or whatever and you need to "settle up" when you get home.
Yes, no matter how you slice it, it's just math (so whether or not you should be able to patent it is arguable) - but, if the patent is for the means by which it's tracked, and the design of the (i assume) app that you use to solve the equation, then a patent may have some merit.
You can solve this using Excel, but a dedicated app to to track the scenario mentioned in the original piece could be very useful to some.
"As an example, assume that a group is created to track and manage the expenditures of four friends (Friends 1-4) while on vacation in Miami. While on vacation, one of the days only three of the friends (Friends 1-3) go eat lunch at a restaurant because Friend 4 is not hungry at the time. The bill for lunch is $60 and Friend 1 pays the bill using a mobile payment service available on his device 104. Friend 1 adds the lunch as an expenditure of the group. When the form is presented to Friend 1 for the lunch, Friend 1 indicates that the lunch should be allocated to Friends 1-3. The lunch is not allocated to Friend 4 because Friend 4 did not participate in the lunch. Further, Friend 1 provides the following amounts of allocation in the form: Friend 1 $25, Friend 2 $16, and Friend 3 $19. In this example, the amount of allocation for each friend is based on what each friend ordered during lunch."
could be further "complicated" if your group of friends has vegetarians (where entrees are usually less than those with meat), and people who don't drink - so the cost of that bottle of wine should be split between the 4 of 6 in your party who actually had some. if someone brought their kids, that introduces yet another variable.
it'd be pretty cool to be able to take a picture of the itemized receipt and assign each line item to a person (drinks and entree), or the group (shared desserts, appetizers) - whatever is appropriate.
Banks are getting in to person to person transfers (using nothing but a mobile number or email address).. https://clearxchange.com/ the natural evolution of paying each other is to be able to request money FROM each other.. so i can use my credit card to pay for lunch, then send a note telling my friends they owe me $.
google couple potentially integrate with clearxchange, and card.io (take picture of CC instead of entering the number manually) to settle up once the costs are calculated.
this isn't a patent for a system to do math (addition, subtraction and division). this is a patent on a system that makes it so you don't have to think about the math.
I never made any claim about the legality of holding the government hostage.. all I said is some politicians are ignoring it. much the same way Colorado and Washington are ignoring Federal pot laws (which is also an 10th Amendment issue)
the great thing about the American Justice system is if you don't like the law, you can change it... unless you don't have the votes.
Boehner is about as UNDEMOCRATIC as can be. This country is based on Democracy.. you rather live under some other system? MOVE.
